<p>Hip-Hop is something that literally has taken over the world when it comes to music, movies, fashion, television, and even children’s books. The culture may have never progressed without the assistance from artists such as Large Professor and Craig G. Therefore, it would only be right for Koss to have these two experienced MCs from Queens hop on this track together and spit facts about the past, present, and possibly the future of the culture.</p>
<p>While thinking back to the days in the park when the culture was first created, Extra P starts off the track with, “On the scene / Two turntables and a drum machine / Plus a mic,” He takes it to, “Started off in N.Y. and N.J./ Kept buzzing / But always knew that it wasn’t / For everyone / The message in the song is a heavy one / Peep that light in the dark / That’s a nebula / Named ‘Hip-Hop’ / The world got hit by storm / Once the Flex bombs come on / It’s a showcase between what’s capital and lower case / Now our styles’ all over the place.”</p>

<p>Twenty years ago, Hip-Hop was in crosswinds. Microphones were grabbed by emerging voices from across the landscape, geographically, stylistically, and regarding content. As the genre collected itself following the sudden and tragic killings of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls, it wanted new sounds, messages, and conversations.</p>
<p>No one could have predicted the significance when DMX, Mos Def (nka Yasiin Bey), Big Pun, Canibus, Mic Geronimo, Fugees affiliate John Forté, and author/journalist Touré sat together for a cypher and nearly hour-long chat on December 18, 1997. One year later, X had not one—but two #1 albums, Pun’s Capital Punishment debut marked the first Latin solo MC to go platinum, Mos Def dazzled the masses as one-half of Black Star, and Canibus dropped his own gold-certified debut. Over drinks in Match Café, the future looked bright.</p>

<p>BY AMANDA MESTER JULY 28, 2017 </p>
<p>On July 28, 1992, Mary J. Blige released a debut album that would alter the course of contemporary R&amp;B and Soul and introduce the world to a new Queen. What’s The 411? remains the keystone to her career, 25 years and 12 solo LPs later. A quarter of a century has passed since Miss Mary’s triple-platinum classic arrived and records like “Real Love,” “You Remind Me,” “My Love,” and “Love No Limit” set the tone for the kind of music she would make for the next 2 and a half decades: deeply personal, heartbreaking, and self-affirming songs about love, loss, pain, and resurrection. The songs she created for the genre are the blueprint on which artists like Faith Evans, Aaliyah, Destiny’s Child, Ashanti, and countless other sirens built their career paths. However, there is no contest when identifying the artist who most personifies Hip-Hop Soul – and perhaps no song more than What’s The 411?‘s title track encapsulates that sweet marriage of two worlds.</p>
<p>Featuring Grand Puba, “What’s The 411?” was not a single, but certainly the album’s signature example of Mary’s ability to shape a smooth, soulful sound on a beat that leaves heads bobbing. Although another rapper appears on the LP (and this version of “You Remind Me” features Greg Nice and there’s a Heavy D remix to “My Love”), the Busta Rhymes cut “Intro Talk” is precisely that, and doesn’t include any of Mary’s singing. Co-produced by Tony Dofat and Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, “What’s The 411?” paired the Uptown Records new signee with the Brand Nubian rapper, but it wasn’t their only collaboration. On his own 1992 solo debut, Grand Puba featured Ms. Blige on “Check It Out,” though several months after their original pairing.</p>
